No device leaves your hands without a data plan. Back up, sign out, unlock, erase. Dead device? Recover first, then wipe.

Phone took a swim? Power it off. Don't charge it. Don't put it in rice. Skip the Rice. Save the Device. Then get it to a local technician fast. Acting quickly can improve your chances. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/12…

Slow computer? It may not need replacing. An SSD or memory upgrade, a dust cleanout, or a clean reinstall can bring a lot of machines back. A technician can check what yours supports first. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/12…

International E-Waste Day. The WEEE Forum's 2026 theme is Fast Tech: "Don't bin it, bring it!" For whole devices, go one step further: keep it, repair it, reuse it, recycle it last. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/05…

Monday morning, three steps: pull last month's parts invoices and RMAs for your true cost per part; run your top ten repairs against the floor; put the minimum contribution in dollars on the pricing sheet. techcareassociation.org/2026…

A Tech Cleanout is not about getting rid of things. It is about getting them moving again. Half of end-of-life smartphones are just left unused at home. Yours could be someone's phone. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/05…

Double a $12 part: it contributes about $9 toward a ticket that needs about $104. Double a $140 part: it collects the whole ticket twice. One rule fails at both ends. Illustrative. Part 5 of Fix the Shop First: techcareassociation.org/2026…

Two pockets, one floor. Parts pocket plus labor pocket has to reach what the part really cost plus what the bench hour has to earn. "Part plus $100" ran about $8 short on the example shop. Illustrative. techcareassociation.org/2026…

Before an old phone leaves your hands: back it up, move your authenticator, sign out, turn off find-my-device, pull the SIM, erase. 15 minutes. 1 in 5 resold phones still held the previous owner's data. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/05…
